With a report on twist fashions at the Peppermint Lounge and another on Small's Paradise in Harlem, the paper launched a series of features on Beautiful People at play. The late Carol Bjorkman, a onetime Saks buyer and jet-setter, began a knowing gossip column called "Carol Says," then moved on to interviews with the likes of Vice President Johnson and a new quarterback named Joe Namath. Reviews, always glib and sometimes perceptive, criticized books, plays, movies, TV shows, restaurants and (lately) Sunday church services. "Eye" and "Eye Too," gossip columns on the snide side, became must reading...
PRECISELY. The real Elliott Gould was elsewhere that evening, but the two anxious urbanites were going through just the sort of encounter that Gould has faced in the burst of films ?from Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice to this summer's Getting Straight and Move?that have raised him to stardom in less than a year. There were even elements of this mood in M*A*S*H, the battlefront comedy that has become the most talked-about movie of 1970. Gould always seems to be caught up in social ?and sexual?tension.

When Gould got ready for the orgy in Bob & Carol by dousing himself with deodorant, gargling and climbing into bed in his undershorts and executive-length socks, millions of sexually unliberated men and women not only laughed at his unease but were moved and comforted by it.

He would do well to study the sagging box-office strength of Marlon Brando and Peter Sellers after too many years of carrying bad movies on good shoulders...
...busy year started with queues still forming for Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. Then came M*A*S*H, the most talked-about movie of 1970. Getting Straight and Move were disappointing, but that did not slow him down. I Love My Wife is already in the can, and three weeks ago he finished filming Little Murders. To cap it all, Elliott Gould, 31, will star in the first English-speaking film (The Touch) by the great Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. It took only one film-Getting Straight -for Bergman to decide on the American actor. "I fell for him immediately...
